I would like to add a simple voice chat feature to a personal game
site, and have heard of various Java based applications that do voice
conferencing and the like. I have written a homebrew text based
chatroom system in PHP and HTML that supports multiple groups of
people playing text based role playing games online. I would like to
integrate a voice conferencing feature to it so that the people in
each chatroom can speak to one another. The only practical solution
would have to be something that works on any OS or browser, since
people in one group might have a variety of each. It does not need to
be very sophisticated to begin with. For example something that
records the users voice into a file when they press a button and then
uploads the file to the server when they release the button would
probably be satisfactory, time delays and all. Once the files got to
the server I think I know how to hande them.

I would prefer to find some tutorials or books on how this is done and
try my hand at writing my own. I don't know any Java, but a project
like this might be a good way to learn. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
